| Designer Notes |
| The Strike Cheetah was used repeatedly during the war in long term infiltration missions that required the Gears to either remain out of contact with their regimental commandres or to drag along satellite communications equipment in towed or carried packages. To resolve this problem, the Northern Guard asked Shaian Mechanics to develop a command and communications variant of the Strike. The corporation delivered in TN 1923 with the Strike Cheetah Section Commander, designed for team leaders (or communications specialists) during paratrooper operations. The SecComm lost the offensive firepower of the Soothsayer automatic rocket cannon, maintaining only the M25 pack gun for defense. This made the unit primarily a support Gear in these operations, but the satellite communications array installed in its right shoulder was critical to the success of long-range, deep penetration missions. Reactive armor was added to the SecComm to help protect it under fire. The SecComm was also provided with signal boosting capabilities so it could pierce through limited electronic warfare interference. |
